A recent study
published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute1 suggests that
lycopene supplements alone may not have the same cancer-fighting effects
as tomatoes or tomato powder. The researchers concluded that although lycopene
does have anti-cancer properties, when it’s taken alone it was not
effective. In fact, the test group that received the lycopene-only supplements
had similar rates of prostate cancer as the group that received only a
placebo.

This study underscores the need for supplements, especially carotenoid
supplements, to be based on whole-food products. GNLD’s Carotenoid
Complex uses only whole-food raw materials, because we know that in nature
you will never find
lycopene, or other carotenoids, alone. Carotenoid Complex contains a full
spectrum of carotenoids, sourced from 7 different carotenoid-rich fruits
and vegetables,
and it is clinically proven by USDA researchers to be effective.
